Protection
B
Sensory Perception
C
Excretion
D
Absorption and secretion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The ovoid nuclei are usually placed towards basal surface. This type of epithelium is commonly adapted for secretion, absorption and protection. As a protective epithelium, it lines the minor ducts of many exocrine glands, while as a secretory epithelium it lines the stomach and uterine cervix.
